Published by WealthBriefingAsia – 2nd April 2015

Grosvenor, the privately-owned international property group, has appointed a former senior UBS executive, Benjamin Cha, as its Asia-Pacific chief executive, the group’s Asia-based proprietary arm. From yesterday, he takes over from Nicholas Loup, who moves on from the company. Loup set up the Asia business in Hong Kong in 1994; operations have since expanded to Tokyo and Shanghai.

Prior to joining Grosvenor, Cha worked at UBS Global Asset Management as managing director, head of global real estate for greater China and co-CEO of UBS/Gemdale, a UBS joint venture real estate private equity platform in China. Prior to this he was with HKR International, a Hong Kong based developer, for 11 years, latterly as executive director and head of its Asia-Pacific business unit.

Cha joined the Grosvenor Asia-Pacific board of directors on 26 February.
